You've got a couple different uses in mind. For competition, excess weight can be a detriment. Moving around something that weight half a ton gets really cumbersome and old. Something like a Lonestar Grillz stabndard or even the Pee Wee, while excellent all around cabinet smokers, are just too darn heavy to move easily onto trailers etc. Sure, people have added pull cables to help hoist them onto a trailer, but something more manageable to wheel around by yourself is much better.
For size, I'd recommend getting two smaller lighter units than one larger unit. You'd get the added benefit of two units that you can set at different temperatures as well.
Humphreys Weekender series is actually really nice for competitors. Built heavy enough to last, but not so heavy that moving them is a pain. I really like the long weekender size. The previously mentioned Battle box is a good choice also.
Backwoods makes some decent models to check out also.
The Limo Jr. I have is really popular on the competition circuit for an insulated gravity fed model. Same rules apply to it, not too big, not to small.
Now the Lonestar Grillz cabinet smokers and larger Humphreys units are excellent smokers but I have seen many grow to hate something that weighs too much if they need to move them frequently. And yes, you can get a really nice cart that rolls smooth as glass on level surfaces, but trying to push that beast up a trailer ramp repeatedly is a completely different story.
Anyone know much about Assassins 32 gravity fed?

It will be mounted on back of a trailer, so no unloading etc
Love my battle box. Steady no frills cooker.
